Moose,
I see in our local shops a screw mount to OM mount adapter. I am not sure if
this is what is menat by M42. What I recall is that it would allow you to
mount lenses for the old Pentax Spotmatic Takumar lenses on an OM body. IN
the adapter, I see a lens element.
If you need such a thing, its cheap. Costs just USD 10.00.
Regards
Titoy
